Kraig Adams has made a living by carrying a camera and backpack through some of the world’s most remote land for almost ten years. The independent filmmaker lives in Brooklyn and spends most of the year at home planning trips, editing footage, and getting ready for the next adventure. Then, a few times each year, he heads into the wilderness for a week or two, carrying everything he needs on his back.

His films have taken viewers to places such as Kyrgyzstan, Patagonia, the Alps, Norway, and the Balkans. Each trip is a story, designed to capture the landscape and the experience of moving through it alone.

Although many people see him as a digital nomad, Kraig describes his lifestyle a little differently.

“Closest label is probably mobile creator with a home base. I’m not nomadic in the sense of living out of a bag year-round. I live in Brooklyn with my family, and then a handful of times a year I go do something like a multi-week solo traverse through Norway or the Alps, completely off on my own, then come back and edit.”

That balance between home and the trail has shaped both his work and the way he tells stories.
